AAT3141
High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump
for White LED Applications

ChargePump
General Description
Features
The AAT3141 is a low noise, constant frequency
charge pump DC/DC converter that uses a tri
mode load switch (1X), fractional (1.5X), and dou-
bling (2X) conversion to maximize efficiency for
White LED applications. The device produces cur-
rent levels up to 30mA on each of its 4 current
source outputs to drive various arrangements of
LEDs from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. Outputs may be
operated individually or in parallel for driving high-
er-current LEDs. A low external parts count (two
1µF flying capacitors and two small 1µF capacitors
at VIN, and CP) make the AAT3141 ideally suited
for small battery-powered applications.

(AS Cwire™) digital input is used to enable, disable
12 pin TSOPJW package
and set the LED drive current with a 32 level loga-
rithmic scale LED brightness control. The AAT3141
has a thermal management system to protect the
device in the event of a short circuit condition at an
output pin. Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents exces-
sive inrush current during start-up. A high charge
pump switching frequency enables the use of very
small external capacitors. In shutdown mode, the
device disconnects the load from VIN and reduces
quiescent current to less than 1µA. The AAT3141 is
available in the very small 12 pin TSOPJW package.
